• Tells the employer what type of position you are seeking.

 

• Entices the reader to learn more about you by reading your resume.

 

• Provides or expands your resume objective and/or job-search goal.

 

• Serves as a small window into your personality that makes the employer feel he or she simply must get to know you better.

 

• Gives you a little-used opportunity to impress the prospective employer by showcasing your knowledge about the company and/or its industry.

 

• Shows how well you express yourself.

 

• Enables you to avoid reinventing your resume for every job by using your cover letter to frame your qualifications in different ways for different jobs.
